Anti-Plant Pathogenic Fungal Compounds from Endophytic Fungi
A number of anti-plant pathogenic fungal compounds (AFC) with diverse structures have been isolated from endophytic fungi. Progress of studies on AFC is summarized as follows: the host plants of these endophytic fungi, the isolation and characterization of alkaloids, peptides, terpenoids, steroids, quinones, phenols, esters and other compounds, and their inhibitory effects against plant pathogenic fungi. The mechanism of agricultural antibiotics is also briefly introduced, including targeting on fungal cell wall, cell membranes and restraining biosynthesis of fungal proteins. On this basis, the prospects of AFC as the source of agricultural antibiotics are discussed. They have great potential as lead compounds and of exploiting high-efficiency, low toxin, less-persistent and pollution-free agricultural antibiotics.
